And I'm surprised the masses have stuck with the Fast franchise, yet here we are 10 about to be 11 movies in. Just because some can’t see its appeal doesn’t mean it won’t appeal to the masses.
You knowing the characters doesn’t mean the masses did prior to the MCU. And that’s the point our own experiences need to be taken out of it, I’ve known every single character they introduced into the MCU and all the ones they have coming up, doesn’t mean I think that someone from the Midwest knows the same. So it’s the story the brings them in initially and it’s the characters that keep them coming back once they become attached to them. But they have to be introduced to them first in order to become attached to them. So the hope has been that the new characters being introduced are accepted, liked, and become an attachment to the masses. And in my opinion it’s been hit or miss, which is why I say we’ll see how it goes once Phase 6 ends in a couple years.
It’s worth remembering that they didn’t make billions as unknowns either.

It will unfortunately and likely be big. Movies with that CinemaScore rarely have 'legs.'
I agree and have often said the MCU has set unrealistic expectations on people, unless it’s hitting $1B+ people see them as failures when they are not. So let’s see how this one turns out so far it’s doing fairly well.
Here's how the weekend box office looks through Sunday, although most folks still have tomorrow off for the 3 day weekend so we'll need to wait for Tuesday for the official tally of the entire holiday weekend.

It varies, but I think there are about a dozen who are active, and maybe two dozen in total that float in here at various times to like or respond. But the point is still the same, I don't see what any of us here would do to impact the state of things beyond talking about it, which is why there is now a dedicated thread to use. And yet I don't see much interaction in there, showing that most if not almost all but a few don't really want to go on for page after page talking about it, especially within the content of the box office. As much of an important topic as it is, its too big for this forum.
I think the point is nothing we say matters…even though some are adamant the “anti Disney conspiracy” is bred here
I don't think anyone said or even tried to hint that the "anti-Disney" stuff is bred here. I think what has been said is that too many here buy into it, when they shouldn't.
And if I was to guess, and its just a guess, it'll land somewhere between Quantumania and Guardians domestic, and somewhere between Quantumania and Spider-Man for its WW.For those interested, here's how the opening weekend of Captain America compares to the previous five movies from Marvel. This is freshly cherry-picked data folks, so enjoy it!
This latest Captain America is in 5th place for opening weekends, ahead of The Marvels disastrous opening, but notably less than the other four movies Marvel has released in the past two years.

And here's what that domestic box office chart looks like in comparison. The line for Captain America is still buried down in the corner with Ant-Man and The Marvels, but it will be interesting to see what kind of trajectory it might have a week from now.
Stay tuned Marvel fans!
